one sash, said sash being adapted to slidel upwardly into thecasingabove the window opening.

`It is an object of the invention to provide means in1 such a. windowwhereb7 the sash i may be swung inwardly into the room so as to reversethe sash to reach the opposite side for cleaning or other purposes, andalso to provide for removing the sash readily with a minimumpofmanipulation.

In thedrawing illustrating the preferred embodiment of this invention,Fig. 1 is a `central vertical section` `throughl a window equipped withmy invention.. j Fig. 2 is a broken detail of the window casing and sashtaken approximately-,0n the line 2 2 of Fie'. 1. Fig., 3 is an insideelevation of the window' andcasing, and Fig. `4 isa side elevation ofone of theriders to vwhich lthe `sash is detachably secured. Likenumerals of reference are employed' to designate like parts in all theviews..

In the drawing, I have lllus'trated awinn dow 1,y having a sash3thereon, said sash setting within al casing having a lower sill 4, sidejambs 5 and an upper head piece. Above the casing the" walls of thebuilding structure are j aced apartto allow4 room for the vsash tosgeraised.

The riders 18, may be locked in lowered posi tion by means of vbolts 22slidable in `barrels or sleeves 23 secured upon the inner face of thewindow jambby Screws 24. AThe said bolts are formed with a short knob orhandle 25 connected with the bolt .and slidable in a slot. 26 in theside ofthe barrel, vsaid slot` having offset portions at each end bymeans of which the bolt can be secured iny locked orv unlocked position.The bolts are adapted to project into small recesses 27 in theforwardsides of the riders,ras 1 and 2; 1
